How to Create a Custom GPT with DeepSeek R1
Learn how to create, launch, and deploy a DeepSeek-R1 powered AI chatbot with CalStudio

About DeepSeek R1
DeepSeek has recently released their DeepSeek-R1 model, introducing what they call a pioneering 'thinking model' in the AI landscape. With impressive benchmarks showing superior performance against models like Claude 3 and OpenAI's o1 Preview, DeepSeek-R1 stands out for its enhanced reasoning capabilities and improved task completion accuracy.
The model comes in multiple variants (R1–7B to R1–65B) and is fully open source, allowing for both local deployment through platforms like Ollama and cloud-based API access. What makes DeepSeek-R1 particularly interesting is its specialized architecture designed to improve reasoning and reduce hallucinations, making it an excellent choice for building reliable AI apps.
Important Note:
While DeepSeek offers powerful capabilities, creating a custom chatbot and sharing it with others isn't straightforward through their native platform. If you're looking to build similar to a Custom GPT with DeepSeek, it is not possible through their platform alone.
